    Surviving modernization: State, community, and the environment in two Japanese fishing towns

    No full text
    This dissertation builds on and aims to contribute to the anthropological understandings of the commons, natural resource management, and modernization. Through a historical and ethnographic investigation based on two coastal fishing towns in Japan, the dissertation demonstrates that the ways in which people interact with common natural resources are dynamically constructed within a complex web of shifting political, cultural, and ecological conditions. With growing concerns, largely since the 1970s, regarding the environment, few argue that managing natural resources is unnecessary, but there is a heated debate regarding the proper methods. In order to improve the poor outcomes of “command-and-control” natural resource management schemes and planned development, policy makers and scholars have worked to promote “community-based natural resource management” and “co-management” as new conservation strategies accentuating the role of community. Japanese coastal resource management has often been celebrated as a success story that shows the relevance of traditional communities, and even used as a model for promoting conservation strategies in other countries. Other scholars have pointed to the problems that these strategies, particularly when based on romantic images of traditional communities, can create. This dissertation argues that even in these two Japanese fishing towns, the actual practices of resource management are also much more complex than simplified or romantic discourses of communities would suggest. And this should prompt us to reconsider “traditional” and “modern” methods for achieving collective action for the management of common natural resources. The “traditional,” like other closely related social categories such as “modern” and “backward,” is temporally constructed and malleable, and has been produced in part through state modernizing projects. These too have varied over time and are hardly linear, and they often masquerade the complexities and ambiguities of the contemporary culture of the commons. In Surviving Modernization, I wish to highlight two major findings. Contemporary Japan’s coastal resource management is part of the state’s modernization project, which has survived as a grand theme for the last sixty years. At the community level, however, the ways in which people respond to the state’s modernization project are deeply associated with their survival as fishing families.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Satsuki Takahash

    ABSTRACTLanguage is a symbol of sound that has gone through agreement, for example onomatope is arepresentative of a word that symbolizes something that is happening such as an imitation of someone'slaughter or the sound of an object. In Japanese onomatope is divided into four, namely giongo is an imitationof the sound of objects, giseigo is an imitation of human and animal sounds, gitaigo is an imitation sound of amovement or situation, and gijougo is an imitation of human feelings. The Barakamon anime is an anime thathas a background on the island of Goto where there is a larger population of small children which makes itpossible for onomatopoeic stories to occur. The purpose of this study is to find the type and meaning ofonomatope contained in the anime Barakamon episodes 1 to 12. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive, namely making a description explanation of the meaning of the onomatope found in dialogues andmonologues in the data. In collecting data, the author used the listening and note technique, namely listening tothe dialogue in the Barakamon anime and recording the necessary parts and then dividing by type ofonomatope. The analytical technique used is a descriptive analysis technique. Based on this research, foundonomatopoeia in the anime Barakamon by Satsuki Yoshino, namely onomatopoeia giongo as much as 9 data,onomatopoeia giseiso 15 data, onomatopoiea gitaigo 4 data, and onomatopoiea gijougo 4 data. Giseigo data isthe one that appears most often, this is because in anime there are far more onomatopoeic calls that representimitation of human voices or living creatures.Keywords : giongo, giseigo, gitaigo, gijougo, descriptive.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????? 4 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????? 1 ?~? 12 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 9 ???????? 15 ???????? 4 ???????? 4 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? : ???, ???, ???, ???,??

    Keluarga sebagai lingkungan yang terdekat dengan anak memiliki peran penting dalam proses pembentukan karakter anak. Salah satu media dalam mendidik karakter pada anak-anak sejak dini yaitu dengan penyampaian sebuah cerita anak maupun dongeng anak. Pada era kemajuan teknologi saat ini dalam menyajikan suatu cerita yang mengandung pendidikan karakter untuk anak-anak tidak hanya melalui buku cerita saja. Namun, ada pula penyajian yang lebih menarik yaitu dalam bentuk film, salah satunya adalah anime Tonari no Totoro. Penulis menemukan pendidikan karakter yang dapat dijadikan tontonan untuk anak-anak di Indonesia dalam menanamkan karakter yang baik yang dicerminkan oleh karakter utama Satsuki dan Mei. Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter yang tercerminkan pada karakter utama Satsuki dan Mei dalam anime Totoro. Hasil penelitian ini ditemukan 12 nilai dari 18 nilai pendidikan karakter dari kutipan kurikulum pendidikan nasional oleh Syarbini dalam Miranti yaitu : rasa ingin tahu, peduli sosial, kerja keras, bersahabat/komunikatif, cinta damai, demokratis, disiplin, mandiri, jujur, religius, menghargai prestasi, dan tanggung jawab. Nilai pendidikan karakter yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah nilai peduli sosial. Penokohan tokoh utama Satsuki merupakan sosok seorang anak-anak yang sangat menyayangi keluarganya. Untuk pengajar diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran untuk memberikan contoh nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter bagi peserta didik. // Family as the closest environment to children has an important role in the process of forming children's character. One of the media in educating characters in children from an early age is by telling a children's story or children's fairy tales. In the era of current technological advances in presenting a story that contains character education for children, not only through story books. However, there is also a presentation that is more interesting, namely in the form of a film, one of which is the anime Tonari no Totoro. The author finds character education that can be used as a spectacle for children in Indonesia in instilling a good character that is reflected by the main characters Satsuki and Mei. Researchers used a descriptive qualitative research method. The purpose of this study was to determine the values ​​of character education that are reflected in the main characters of Satsuki and Mei in the anime Totoro. The results of this study found 12 values ​​out of 18 values ​​of character education from the quotation of the national education curriculum by Syarbini in Miranti, namely: curiosity, social care, hard work, friendly / communicative, peace-loving, democratic, disciplined, independent, honest, religious, respectful achievements, and responsibilities. The value of character education that is mostly found is the value of social care. The character of the main character Satsuki is the figure of a child who really loves his family. Teachers are expected to be used as a learning medium to provide examples of the values ​​of character education for students

    Synthesis and Tunable Optical Properties of C,N-Chelated Borate Luminophores Derived from Potassium Acyltrifluoroborates

    A new class of borate luminophores has been synthesized by a simple two-step reaction using potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) as starting materials. The hydrazones obtained from reactions between KATs and 2-hydrazinopyridines followed by a cyclization resulted in the unprecedented formation of C,N-chelated six-membered bora-heterocycles. Under consideration of the results of DFT and TD-DFT calculations, four luminophores based on such bora-heterocycles are designed and synthesized, which exhibit a tunable fluorescence range from blue to red in the solid state. Moreover, one of the luminophores exhibits mechanofluorochromism from blue to yellow/green. As a result of the aforementioned mechanochromism of one of these luminophores, white-color emission was achieved by simply mixing the four luminophores

    We report multidynamic molecular rotations in crystals using a concave-shape N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) binuclear Au(I) complex rotor bearing pyrazine and tetrahydrofuran (THF) molecules as multicomponent rotators. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed that two THF molecules are located near the central pyrazine encapsulated by two bulky NHC ligands. From H-2 solid-state NMR analysis, it was observed that the pyrazine rotated in a 2-fold site exchange with a 180 degrees rotational angle and a 31 kJ mol(-1) energy barrier, while the THF molecules showed a 23 degrees-38 degrees libration with a lower energy barrier (14 kJ mol(-1)). Interestingly, the pyrazine rotation was accelerated when the THF molecules rotated in fast site exchange with a large angle of libration, suggesting that the rotators exhibit multidynamics in a correlated manner

    Abstract Purpose Some Bacillus licheniformis strain isolated from the environment has been reported to form aggregates during the suspension culture under carbon limitation. The aim of this study is to characterize the aggregation process of B. licheniformis RK14 strain isolated from the soil. Methods B. licheniformis RK14 was cultured in a glucose-free lysogeny broth (LB) to confirm the aggregate formation under glucose limitation conditions and compared to model B. licheniformis strains. To characterize the aggregation process of RK14, microscopic analyses and time-lapse observations were conducted. Thioflavin T (ThT) was used to assess the involvement of transient cell elongation in aggregate formation. Results Although RK14 did not form aggregate when cultured in a glucose-rich γ-PGA production medium, it was found to self-aggregate when grown in a glucose-free LB. The optimal temperature for aggregation was approximately 40℃. Microscopic analysis showed that the aggregates were composed of viable cells with cell–cell cluster-like structures. Time-lapse observations clarified elongation of individual cells after 1 h of culture, followed by a return to rod-shape while maintaining the aggregation state. Addition of ThT at micromolar concentration inhibits aggregate formation, probably due to the suppression of cell elongation. Conclusions The aggregation process of RK14 was similar to the pellicle and submerged biofilm formation process of B. subtilis in terms of morphological changes. It was concluded that transient cell elongation is critical for aggregate formation of RK14 strain

    Photo- and Thermoregulation of DNA Nanomachines

    No full text
    We have been investigating DNA state machines, especially those based on the opening of hairpin molecules in which state transitions are realized as hairpin loops are opened by molecules called openers. This paper introduces photo- and thermoregulation of such hairpin-based DNA machines, in which the openers become active by sensing external signals in the form of light or heat. We conducted fluorescence experiments and show that photo- and thermoregulation is possible. In the experiments, the openers become active when they are irradiated by UV light or when they receive heat as external input. For photoregulation, we use azobenzene-bearing oligonucleotides developed by the third author.
